I hope to have the trim done this week.

Let's get some input on drains and returns.

I'll have two 3/4" returns on the tank flowing about 900-1000gph + - with some head pressure figured in.http://www.marinedepot.com/Sicce_Syn...WPSBUF-vi.html

Do we think I really need to plumb two 1" drains or are we thinking that one drain would be just fine?

Now we're getting close! Some minor touch-up work and were moving right along.

This isn't an exact figure, but close, a 1" drain will drain approx. 750 GPH. Through experience I've learned that having over capacity reduces the noise. A single 1" drain would be pushing it too close and would take some dialing in to reduce noise.

Drain/Overflow Size

I see we need to have a party at Bear's house.

Mike, you make the trip and I'll pour the booze!

Nice looking stand and wine rack too. Do you make you own wine too.

Thanks Stemick!

Yea, that's my personal brew! LOL it's all Cabenet Souvignon with a splash of a Merlot mixed in.
